Just horrendous. There was a big Jewish gathering on the beach. Jewish festival goers targeted by two gunmen. At least ten people dead according to police.

So are you saying the Daily Mail made it up?

It was my first question is all.

They are a bunch of cunts is the default setting.

The West has largely moved on from religion: it’s seen as rather a sort of hobby and everyone can carry on in a liberal way as it harms no one else. We can all happily co-exist!

But with mass migration and the radicalisation of the countries from which immigrants are coming - this just is no longer working. I don’t think people can get their heads around others hating us and despising our culture.

The problem must be confronted. “Lessons will be learned” “we all stand together” - no use whatsoever when every Christmas market is threatened, NY in Paris cancelled, nay, Hanukkah celebrators picked off with shotguns.

But when you say about people hating us and despising our culture, again, this doesn't describe most immigrants nor most Muslims. Most are peaceable and most want to work hard and get on, and not commit crimes. It's the nutters that are the problem. The fundamentalists.

Christian are being targeted in Nigeria . There have been a number of kidnappings of individuals by Muslims from Northern Nigeria who want to turn Nigeria ( a Christian country ) into an Islamic state .

It’s heartbreaking that it isn’t being discussed enough. I know Nikki minage (can’t spell her name) was railroaded online for discussing the savage murders in Nigeria.

Wasn’t there a mosque vandalised in the Uk and it turned out to have been done by Muslims wanting to stoke more anger and hatred within their own community for non-Muslims?

Link please.

eta: I googled and found nothing. I even asked AI which said "There is no evidence in the search results of a notable, widely reported incident where a mosque vandalism turned out to have been a "fake hate crime" orchestrated by Muslims themselves to stoke anger against non-Muslims"

Imagine if all the energy that has been poured into Jew hatred had been devoted to something constructive instead. The world would be a different and better place.

I highly doubt it was the Jewish community who placed the pig heads there, most likely Australian locals who are disgusted by the vicious beach murders.

Whoever did it is a total disgrace. Do they think that that's the way to heal a community? Despicable.

I thought that message was a bit odd, but I don't know enough about Islam to refute it. Thanks for your insight. 💐

Yes its a load of nonsense. Islam has spread mainly by trade. Islamic traders were often trustworthy, caring to the poor and honest in pricing. They didnt conquer they were merchants who would settle within these communities.

The silk road and the Indian Ocean routes are amongst some of these trade routes.

Many people adopted Islam because:

  • it emphasized one God without intermediaries
  • it promoted social justice and equality
  • it was easy to practice without priests or rigid hierarchies

If people revert and yes revert ( a belief that we are all born Muslim ) because of the ethics and social practices shown by merchants derived from the teachings of the religion, then that is a beautiful thing.

Well whoever did it is disgusting and very, very, very stupid given the atrocity would have been far worse if not for the heroic actions of a Muslim man.

Hey its a lie.

Of course not.
It is disturbing. My point is that it is most likely local people who are far right and the Jewish community shouldn’t be blamed.

How can a question be a lie?

I said “Wasn’t there”

I didn’t say it absolutely happened. I asked if it did because I have a vague recollection of it happening.

I’ve no doubt that the vast majority of Muslims and immigrants are absolutely fine, normal people just going about their daily lives the same as the rest of us. The problem is that it doesn’t have to be a majority that aren’t like this - it just requires enough of them. And of course it’s those that are most extreme in their views that tend to become most influential and powerful within their particular communities.

Couldn't you have done what I did and googled before you posted?

You know now that it is a lie, so perhaps ask mnhq to delete your post for spreading misinformation.

I’m not going to ask them to delete a question.

It is crazy that my question is the thing on this thread that has outraged you.

Not the outright antisemitism of course

In Australia. Close to Bondi beach.

The pigs heads were placed in a Muslim cemetery in a suburb of South Western Sydney, inland and around about one hour's drive away from Bondi in the east of the city.

I disagree, Christian Nationalism is very much on the rise.

Admittedly, not all of those who are suddenly re-finding Christianity actually believe in it - to some its more a cultural thing.

What one minute you are lying about muslims , the next you want the discussion to end as it has derailed into something else and calling out for people posting.

And now you don't want it to end but we actually we should talk about Muslims and Islam.

So do you want the discussion to end or only continue if we are insulting lying about Muslims and Islam
